Parise Scratched

[16thOverallSaveUs]

Zach Parise, on the ice during an overextended shift when the Vegas Golden Knights tied Monday night’s game with an extra attacker on, will not play in Wednesday night’s rematch. Parise will be a healthy scratch for the first time in his Wild career and only the second time in his 16-year NHL career.
With the Golden Knights’ pushing for the tying goal two nights ago, the veteran left wing didn’t go for a line change with Nico Sturm and Marcus Foligno on his final shift. Parise would end up logging 1 minute, 33 seconds, on the shift and played a part in deflecting Max Pacioretty’s cross-slot pass right to Mark Stone.
Instants later, Stone teed Alex Tuch up for the tying goal in an eventual overtime win for Vegas. [\QUOTE]

Glad Evason isn't scared to do it.

 

[DrewGl]

He always seemed like the biggest "Good not great" player in the league.

I like players who don’t get scratched.

*prays parise is getting traded*

 

[Orfieus]

Makes $8m this year, $6m next year, then $2m, $1m, $1m

I would guess Parise is going to have a career ending injury next year

 

[IceNeophyte]

As a Golden Knights fan, I'm disappointed.....

 

[CupInSIX]

Why? It was all the ref's fault Vegas tied and won that game. Scratch them.

Dean is sending a message to both Parise and the team. If a young player pulled the same crap Parise pulled last game, he would be sent back to the minors. Parise should not get a pass.

Accountability matters.

As a neutral fan, that's a surprise.

Can any Wild fans explain more about this "didn't come off for a line change" business? Did he just get stuck out there, or was he maybe being selfish? What's up?

Someone saw him sneeze when he was putting his gloves on; he must have a serious allergy

Not surprising. Even for a respected veteran.

didnt take a change after a dump in the other end after a long shift, instead persued the puck to try to get ENG. puck was brought back into wild zone. vegas tied game late in the 3rd, wild lose in overtime. basically the epitomy of selfish

He was never going to live up to that contract, but i guess they got a bit of milage out of him and it didn't turn into a disaster right away.

Next year will be rough but then the deal is real cheap right?

And Parise was in a position to prevent the tying goal. If it was a fresh player, maybe they would have.

That title belongs to Stastny for me.

Deal is cheap starting next year, so could help a cap floor team quite nicely, but he would have to waive.

Even though it will not provide cap relief, I would not be surprised if Parise is bought out if only to a save bit of $ and also allow the Wild to protect 1 more player in the expansion draft.

I remember their owner publicly saying how hard it is to make money as an NHL owner early in 2012. He then signed Parise and Suter to those reckless contacts during the last free agency period before the 2012 lockout. I feel sorry for Wild fans for those contracts, but I don't care one bit that their owner has to navigate those cap hits for several more years to come.

He’ll develop some sort of rare and sudden chronic allergy that’ll make his feet swell up when he puts on skates

This is the story. Getting scratched is a direct result from this.

Coming into the thread, I assumed his play just declined enough to warrant sitting one out.

@KaprizovSaveUs, would you be able to add a description to the OP? I couldn't get the story from the tweet alone. I'd bet most neutral fans would want to hear this part. It's a big deal.

That's a terrible thing for any player to do, but worse for a vet leader. He hurt the team bad, and deserves the scratch.

 

[Stealth JD]

Is he finally joining Lou in NYI? Can't imagine the cap gymnastics involved would be easy.

Incoming price for parise trade e5

 

[rubikscube]

He should cut his cat's nails then
